Can anyone please advise how to change the location of an Outlook 2000 PST file?

I'd like to move it to a second hard drive, yet still be able to access my emails as usual from within Outlook.

(Sorry if this has already been asked - I did a search for "move" and "location" + PST and coudln't find anything)

Move the file to the location you wish.

When you reopen Outlook it will say that your file can't be found. Browse to the new location. Do NOT open default folders if prompted to do so.

Close Outlook. Reopen. You will get a message saying the location has been changed for your folders, blah, blah, blah. Select Yes/OK to that.

That's all there is to it.
